Business Owner

Since opening its doors in San Diego in 1998, Phil's BBQ has served over one million pounds (and counting!) of BBQ sauce. In 2007, after the smoke cleared from the original Phil's BBQ location in Mission Hills, the restaurant relocated to a much larger space in Point Loma. Even with a change of location, the Phil's experience and the menu remain the same: long lines of anticipation, an energetic, friendly atmosphere, fantastic food, huge portions, and many, many, paper towels.Phil doesn't come from a long line of BBQ connoisseurs.  Instead, he created from scratch a top-secret recipe for BBQ rubs and sauce while taking his dad's advice to only cook what he knows best and treat employees like family. Phil has been a pioneer of fast, casual dining since the opening of the first restaurant, giving San Diegans what they want - great BBQ. Taking care of, satisfying cravings and supporting customers has always been Phil's #1.
